It takes 10 – 15 days before a butterfly comes to live….[life]

Now, here’s a really cool video capturing the complete life cycle of a monarch butterfly. I showed this video to Dylan moments ago and he was really amazed, whilst I, however, cringed at the sight of those many tiny legs of the caterpillar and then later on, a butterfly. :) But seriously, they are lovely creatures.

That is all for now. Too bad about the unannounced English test today, huh? I was suddenly reminded of the surprise quizzes that my teachers / professors used to give us back in our high school and college days. It wasn’t funny then, nor is it now.
